My garden in a vase
In the garden my eyes are always open to the beauty of the moment, whether
it is a blossom, a twig or the mystery of a seed pod exploding. Nature never
disappoints and I never tire of seeing each phase of every plant. I am not really a photographer, I only capture what the camera lens sees. - Kim Carney

"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white; And reigns the winter's pregnant
silence still; No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill, And willow
stems grow daily red and bright. These are days when ancients held
a rite Of expiation for the old year's ill, And prayer to purify the
new year's will." - Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnet's: February
